Dear Parent/Carers,
Here we are at the second last week of Term 2! What a great term it has been with lots of wonderful activities and programs that our students and staff have enjoyed. After the past 2 years of COVID restrictions, it has been especially lovely for staff and students to be able to enjoy various excursions and incursions once again.
Next week it is very exciting for the Senior Performing Arts staff and students to be able to host a production to audiences once again after 2 years of modified productions in alignment with COVID 19 restrictions. This year the production is called Showcase, and it will be held at the FARM Campus next Tuesday and Wednesday as day events. Students have been able to invite 2 Parents/Carers to pre-purchase tickets so they can come and watch the performance on Tuesday. On Wednesday, selected community groups will be attending. We are really looking forward to seeing the Senior school production with an audience again, along with watching all the hard work of involved students and staff over the last 2 terms come to life.
In Student Wellbeing news, we are very pleased to be offering ‘Peaceful Kids’, an evidence based meditation and mindfulness program designed to build resiliency, coping skills, and reduce anxiety in children and teens.
We will be introducing this program for students during term 3, ages 7- 18, that have been previously identified as struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts and excessive worrying. The program will run for 8 weeks during the term, where parents will receive weekly updates on their child’s progress, and activities to assist children at home. As the Program is designed to have groups of 4- 6 students, we will be working through the school community via referrals assigned to Wellbeing, via the child’s teacher and parent. If you think your child would benefit from this program, please contact your child’s teacher. For a chat about this program or further information, please contact Greg Middleton, Student Wellbeing at the Farm Campus, or Tara Cameron, Student Wellbeing at the Gillies Street Campus on 53341302.
Students Semester 1 reports will be available to families via Compass by the end of term. More information about report availability will be communicated to you soon.
Since this is the last newsletter for Term 2, I hope all our students and their families enjoy the school holidays. A reminder that school will finish at 2pm next Friday.
Kind regards,
Principal Class Team
